Synopsis
In the course of his flamboyant career as an all-purpose activist, Saul Alinsky went from organizing working-class ethnics in one of Chicago's most blighted neighborhoods to mapping out strategies for the civil rights and antiwar movements of the 1960s. The range of Alinsky's activities, his intense beliefs, and his exhilarating mix of crudeness and calculation almost vibrate off the pages of this passionate and inspiring biography.
